Nairobi - Naro Moru Route (200 km, 3 to 4 hours, 3048m 3-4hrs Hike)

After breakfast, you'll depart Nairobi at 7:30 am, and drive north through Kikuyu land and rich farmland, where coffee and pineapple plantations flourish in the fertile foothills of Mount Kenya. The road climbs gently and steadily to the market town of Naro Moru, which serves as the most straightforward base for our mountain trek and marks the entrance to Mount Kenya National Park. After a picnic lunch, you'll begin your trek from the park gate. You'll leave the conifer plantations and occasional shambas behind as the path twists and climbs through the shaggy forest into a zone of colossal bamboo. You'll hike as far as the Met Station (3048m), which takes 3-4hrs gaining an elevation of 600m, and this is where you'll spend the first night in bandas with bunk beds.

Then the path follows a high ridge with the peaks of Batian and Nelion towering magnificently above.

Ascend Mount Kenya (Point Lenana - 4985m) - Nairobi (200 kms, 3 to 4 hours)

You'll have a pre-dawn start to ensure a successful summit of Point Lenana (4985m) and in time for a clear view of Mount Kenya’s peaks before the clouds descend. You'll depart around 3:00 am and the final trek takes 3-4 hours across bare rock and scree slopes, allowing you to get to the summit by dawn for a fabulous view—in the right conditions, from northern Kenya on one side to Kilimanjaro in Tanzania on the other. The descent doesn’t take long, and after congratulating yourself for the tremendous achievement of summiting Mount Kenya, you will take a short break for breakfast back at Mackinder’s, and get all the way down to the Met Station and the park gate. Here, you will meet your driver for the journey back to Nairobi and arrive in the early evening.
